More about the sanitation crisis

Almost one in three people globally –2.3 billion – do not have a reliable toilet of their own. Access to reliable sanitation is a basic human right that protects people from dangerous diseases and provides dignity.

For girls and women, the lack of toilets also affects their privacy and safety – they often wait until dark to find a quiet place to defecate, which increases the risk of being harassed or even sexually attacked.

Without toilets in schools, children are left to do their necessities out in the open. This makes them vulnerable to diarrheal illnesses and causes them to miss class, holding them back from realizing their full potential.

Together, we can make a bigger difference. With governments, development partners, utility companies, community-based organizations, businesses and entrepreneurs, and local people, we work every day to improve people’s access to sanitation.
